PGY2 Health-System Pharmacy Administration and Leadership

Meet the preceptors

UF Health Shands Hospital residency in Health-System Pharmacy Administration and Leadership is a one-year training program beginning each July. Completion of the residency requirements leads to a Certificate of Completion of a Health-System Pharmacy Administration and Leadership Residency Program.

PGY2 pharmacy residency programs build on Doctor of Pharmacy (PharmD) education and PGY1 pharmacy residency programs to contribute to the development of clinical pharmacists in specialized areas of practice. PGY2 residencies provide residents with opportunities to function independently as practitioners by conceptualizing and integrating accumulated experience and knowledge and incorporating both into the provision of patient care or other advanced practice settings. Residents who successfully complete an accredited PGY2 pharmacy residency are prepared for advanced patient care, academic, or other specialized positions, along with board certification.
